about plugins in SVN that aren't here on elgg.org (4 of them)...

so i see that there are several plugins listed in the svn that are not listed here on elgg. 2 appear to be elements of the application, so not sure if they're meant to be dropped into the /mod/folder - these include:

friendicon and
posticon

...but two others appear to be new, and i'm wondering if anybody has used them...

contenttoolbar: appears to be set for easy add/insertion of video clips instead of using the standard elgg tag thing (which is onerous for regular users of any elgg site) - seems to just allow for one to plop in the embed code from youtube, google video, etc..

cachecleaner: appears to be set for easy date control of cache dumping/cleaning...

Keywords: cache, plugins, video, youtube

  1. Contenttoolbar was written on spec for us by Diego Ramirez, and is a very easy way to embed videos. It even comes with a profile widget for those of you on the very latest Elgg version. I'll add that to the plugin repository shortly.

    Cachecleaner was written by Sven Edge, and he's best placed to respond about how usable that is. The other two were by Misja Hoebe for the University of Brighton, and allow for icons rather than names in the sidebar and a choice of icons in weblog posts respectively.

  2. thanks ben - sounds like that video tool may obviate the need to screw around with assorted video embed tags (including the ones that lead users to edit assorted files to control display)...

    as for the ones written by misja, is there a demo site up where one could see these in action?
